This remarkable Stabilizer is coated with a water activated, silicone based adhesive. It is an alternative to pressure sensitive sticky paper products and/or messy spray adhesives. Most home embroiderers have, at some point, experienced problems with peel and stick products gumming up their needles as well as the designs registration not lining up correctly.

3 This happens because they mistake paper for Stabilizer . The main differences between Wet N Stick and these products - Floriani is a Stabilizer not paper and the adhesive doesn t get sticky residue on the needle. The adhesive on Wet N Stick can be re activated multiple times for easy re positioning of garments. Wet N Stick w/Grid is unique because it offers one inch grid lines which are especially appealing for lining up lettering, cuffs and collars or border designs. Perfect for bulky items such as towels, robes and blankets Use for fabrics and garments that get hoop burn Use for hard to hoop items such as napkin corners, collars, cuffs, etc.

4 One layer of Wet N Stick Tear-away version will support around 8,000 to 10,000 stitches on an average size, well digitized design The adhesive can be re activated several times even with lint heavy fabric. To use Floriani Wet N Stick Tear-away: 1. Hoop one layer of the Stabilizer , adhesive side up. Be sure the product is taut within the hoop. If using Wet N Stick with a grid, line the grid marks up with the lines on your inner hoop. 2. Apply a drop of water onto the Stabilizer in each corner of the hoop as well as one in the center using a sponge, foam paint brush or envelope sealer (recommended, available at office supply stores).

5 Remember - minimal water is required to activate the adhesive. 3. Using the tip of your finger, smooth the drops of water over the surface of the Stabilizer . You will feel the adhesive become tacky almost instantly. 4. Press the garment into place and smooth out any wrinkles. 5. Embroider your design. 600 stitches per minute or less is recommended. *Tip If the design is denser than 8,000 to 10,000 stitches or if it is a poorly digitized design (too many stitches for design size), float one layer of Floriani Medium Tearaway under the hooped item for each additional 10,000 stitches for added support!

6 6. Once the design is complete, remove the hoop from your embroidery machine and tear or cut away the Wet N Stick Stabilizer . If the adhesive is holding on to the fabric, reactivate it by applying moisture at the glue line. Once the adhesive is re activated it will release the fabric. *Embroidery Tip If sticking down a fabric such as cotton, denim or linen first, prep the embroidery area by fusing one layer of Heat N Sta Tearaway or Stitch N Wash Fusible to the fabric before sticking it down. This will place more control on the fabric and keep the design from puckering.

7 If sticking down a knit it is very important to prep the fabric by fusing one layer of Floriani No Show Nylon Mesh Fusible to the back of the fabric before sticking it down. This will give you the very best embroidery results. 4 With Perfect Stick embroidery in almost any area is achievable! Enjoy quality stitching with no residue build up or gummy needles. Perfect Stick is ideal for hard to hoop items such as bulky towels, backpacks, collars, napkin corners, or socks. Use for fabrics that can be damaged by the hooping process (Hoop Burn); like leather, velvet, ultra-suede and satin.

8 With Perfect Stick you will enjoy the stability of a firm yet flexible Stabilizer that will support all types of embroideries on most fabrics. To use Perfect Stick Tearaway: 1. Place one piece of Perfect Stick Tearaway , paper side up, into the embroidery frame and make sure it is "tambourine skin" tight. 2. Score the paper with a straight pin or scissor tip and peel back the protective paper to ex-pose the sticky surface. 3. Smooth the item to be embroidered into place. 4. Place the embroidery hoop on the machine and center the design.

9 5. Use a topping if necessary and secure the corners. 6. Stitch the design. 7. To remove Perfect Stick Tearaway , dampen the back of the embroidery with a wet cloth or sponge. Allow the moisture to penetrate for 10 seconds and then tear away the Stabilizer . On average, Floriani Perfect Stick Tearaway should support a design with no more than 10,000 stitches and/or around 4" x 5" in size. If the design has a higher stitch count, simply "float" a square of Floriani Stitch N Wash TearAway between the hoop and the bed of the ma-chine to support the additional stitches.
